WCM GRAND NATIONAL ----- HOW OLD !!!

Post by ROBO-UK »

Hi there --- I recently acquired the WCM GN off Ebay in the UK --- as you can see it is in very good condition considering it is some years old -- I think that both chassis and ABS body shell are in their original factory colour schemes ---- can anyone approximately date the model from the attached photos

Hi. I've got the Dec. 1986 edition of R/C Model cars magazine and they did a article on it. And yours is the exact same . I believe its WCM first Grand National.Nice. I think I posted the article in the Manual section.

It's a tensioner for the main drive chain to rear axle
